I really need to stop browsing WoT subs, I've been feeling liquified bits of my brain leaking out through my nose and ears for the past few days, it's like staring directly into highly-radioactive material and just feeling your body start falling apart on the molecular level.

      Literally Jordan set up the idea of there being a female dragon before ge died. It us in the prequel notes he released as a teaser for the age of legends, her title was Shadow Cutter, and you even see her in the flashbacks in rhuidean.

      I can't take it with fucking nerds who don't even know their nerd material.

        The whole premise of the series is "Vainglorious men break the world and women pick up the pieces". Like, the Last Dragon fucked up and did a terrible job, resulting in a 3000 year long dystopia. Every man to touch the One Power since goes utterly insane and destroys everything he loves. The idea of a Dragon Reborn is absolutely terrifying for every major character in the setting, precisely because of the generational trauma inflicted in the wake of the Last Last Battle.

        IS the Chaos Dragon that Peterson warns against. In hindsight, his entire jungian philosophy could have easily been cribbed from WoT and reversed out.

        There is also Nakomi at the very end. Not to mention that the age of legends was supposed to literally be some kind of anarchist or communist utopia
